Finger

Finger is a simple protocol that gets information about people, locally or on other servers. Created in 1971, it has been recently revived in the small web communities as a way to microblog or easily find contact information about each other.

You can easily set up your Finger identity. In your home directory, you can put multiple files:

• a .plan file for microblogging
• a .forward file if you want your email to be forwarded
• a .project file where you can talk about your projects
• a .pronouns file where you can set your pronouns
• a .pgpkey file where you can put your pgp key
